It is always a pleasure to speak with you. We always have a lot of fun! I know that sometimes you can't find the word that you're thinking of, but be patient. Through time and practice you will be able to build vocabulary and increase fluency.

    Trying To Resolve My Leadership Problem Good day, dear readers. I have some problem with my leadership in my job. Some subordinates sit on my neck. I didn't see that clearly until today. I know I had the problem with my managing, because I took some job of my subordinates. I was thinking over their tasks and it wasn't right. My CTO sent me an article "Management Time: Who’s Got the Monkey?" from "Harvard Business Review". That article about relations between managers and their subordinates. The authors made compare tasks with monkeys. The substance of the article is that managers shouldn't do job of subordinates, because if they did it they wouldn't have time for their job. If you are interested about that article you can search for it on google. Tomorrow in the morning I'm going to reread that article again and to write down notes from that article. I'll put those notes in front of my eyes for controlling myself. I spent 2 hours for that article, because it's in English and it was difficult for me to read it. I think it was difficult, because I don't read books in English as often as I did it before. I'll change this situation. Thank you for reading. See you soon.

    A Warm Place And Missed Advantages Good day, dear readers. Sorry me that I missed a couple of entries. The last two days I didn't anything which could make be better, because I was in a way into a warm place. If you read the previous entry you notice I was writing about living for a warm place on August 18th. Yesterday my wife and I got to our place where we are until September 2th. We are in an area of Sochi, area's name is Lazarevskoe. My wife is doing her errands and I'm working as usual :) It's my first experience of working in a warm place. It's difficult for me, because here is warm and I want to rest :), but I should work. In the beginning of this working day I had a problem with internet, a hotspot wasn't working well. In several hours I found a solution and resolved that problem. Good internet is an important part for my work, because I have enough video calls with colleagues. In the middle of the day it became hot and I went to a living room and turned on an air conditioner. It didn't help me to be focused on my job. At the end of the working day I switched on music for focusing and it helped me :). I forget about triggers which help to be focused. Here is soft and warm wind in the evening. I like that wind. Tomorrow I'll take some photo of this nature for you, guys. Thank you for reading. Have a good day and see you soon.

    Almost a Successful Release And Future Working Vacation Good day, dear readers. I should tell you about today's release a project of our company. Yesterday I told about the release and I thought it would be good, but... Today it happened :) It didn't start at the first time, because some task didn't work well as we expected. I called my colleagues and we decided to pull out that task from the release. We did it fast, but our automation tests lay us down. I spent on it almost several hours, because I had to call every developer of our team and told them off. We fixed every test together, of course. As you know I work remotely and several months try to leave for warm place from the center of Russia (Moscow region). I couldn't do that in the beginning of this year because I got married and didn't have free money. Then my wife was preparing and passing entry examinations in a university. We couldn't go to anywhere again. Her course starts on September 3th. We're going to south of Russia on August 18th. We found airplane tickets and booked an apartment fast :). Thank you for reading. Have a good day!

    Lack of Time Good day, dear readers. I have a little bit time to write this entry. I made a release of our IT project and our QA team didn't find any bugs. I made me happy, because the previous release wasn't so good. Maybe it's the result of stronger controlling. Time will tell. When I work I do time tracking and sometimes my time lacks. When I notice that thing I try to remember when or what I didn't notice and write down. Today it happened again. Yesterday I decided to make a mind map of my life (my future). I wrote some nodes, but I don't know what I should write else. I'm going to wait some time. That's it. Thank you for reading and have a good day. See you soon.

    Recovering Good day, my dear readers. I've noticed I make mistakes in English words more then before. It's not good, but it doesn't care me a lot. I have good news for me and for you, maybe, if you look after me :) Today I've listened to an English podcast. The name of that podcast is "EDGY conversations". I have a lot of interesting podcasts for me and I was listening them one year ago, but something happened wrong with me. I want to tell you how I found the podcast "EDGY". I read books about self improvement. I buy them on a web site of Russian book publisher "МИФ" (MIF or Mann, Ivanov, Ferber). They translate, create and publish a lot of interesting books. A one day I found a book "Be the best version of youself" and decided to buy it. The book was good. The author (Dan Waldschmidt) talks about hard working if you want to achieve something. I agree with him across a lot of his thoughts, because I have the same. He remembered me about forgotten rules and thoughts by me. After reading that book I found his blog and podcast and I started to listen his podcast. I'm glad :) Besides that I started to do my errands. I have a huge bunch of them and I should do all of them ASAP. Have a good day, my dears and thank you for reading this entry.

    Without Imagination Good day, dear readers. Have you ever thought about your imagination. How well is it? Can you imagine interesting story? Can you imagine your future vacation or life? Do you know what you want from your life? Do you have goals, which you want to achieve? Do you analzie your life daily or weekly? Do you make a plan for one day, one week, one month and so on? I realize I haven't been imagination at all. If I had a child and they ask me to imagine story for them I wouldn't do that. Also I noticed I became less organized when started to work remotely. My previous job organized me well, because I had to go a suburban train every weekday to come to an office. I made a good schedule for me, which helped me to achieve a lot of goals. To be honest I can't wake up at 5AM as I did it in June or July, because I don't have motivation. I know that I need a goal. I think I'm almost at the bottom and I need to get out from that situation. I know I will be able get out. The last two notes weren't fanny. I'm sorry guys. It happens sometimes. Thank you for reading that ... :)

    Analyze of My Spends Good day, dear readers. Today I analyzed my spends for last 6, 12 and 48 months, therefore I'm sad a bit right now. Also I have bad mood, because I forgot much useful financial information from the books I read before. Besides that I sorted out my email box and removed the oldest emails. When I was doing that I found the letter from the service. I was going to learn machine learning three years ago. I didn't happen, because the new plan replaced the old one. Three years of my life went. This thing enforces me to think about my life and future plans. Tomorrow in the morning I have to correct my current plan. I need to reread financial books I read before about creating a financial plan. Also I'm planning to refresh my knowledge about time management. This note is cry from my heart. Thank you for reading.

    Like a Child Good day, dear readers. I hope you read the previous entry about my life and it was interesting. Today I'm going to tell you about my summer weekend :) I'm living in a city and that city has renovated embankment. A couple of days my wife and I woke up early, about 5:30 AM and was walking along that embankment. There are beautiful view on a small river and nature. Today we did the same thing, but when we went to the embankment we saw ducks :) What are you thinking to happen further? Yes, I decided to chase those ducks as a child :) The ducks were sunbathing. I jumped a small fence and I was creeping to the ducks. I was like a cat. I went so close to them and was running along side of the river. Of course, those ducks scared me and flew away. I looked fanny, because I'm not a child, I'm 31 years old and I was behaving myself as a child. After one hour we came back home and began to search for a home for our work vacation. Work vacation, because I work remotely and we want to rest somewhere outside of Russia, but I have to work. We found a home, but one our ago a host sent a message us that chosen dates were booked somebody. We're going to continue searching :) Thank you for reading. Have a nice day.

    Becoming a Programer. My Story. Good day, dear readers. Today, I'm going to tell you about how I became a programmer (a web developer). There was 2003-2004 years. I was living in a small town. The population of the town was about 70 000 people. I was 16-17 years old and studying at school, the last class. I didn't think my life would be connected with computers and programs. At that time I liked making things myself and cooking. I thought I would get an education for making a good furniture or I would be a good cooker, but I didn't know where I would. I was graduated from the school. I started to search for a university or a technical school in other cities, because my hometown couldn't give me that I wished. Time was going. A one day, my mom and I were going somewhere by the street in our hometown and we noticed some advertisement of a technical school. There was information about an IT education. I remembered my computer passion. I thought "Why not man?". I knew if you want to get an education in IT area I had to know mathematic well, but I didn't. It didn't stop me at all :). I went to that technical school for passing entrance examinations. The education wasn't free (in Russia we can take a free education). I took the minimal requirement points in entrance examinations. I was so happy :). The first year of my education was very difficult. I understood little piece of information. My head was filled thoughts about "I can't. I don't know a lot of. I don't know mathematic well. How will I live further? I can't make money. Man you should do something. You can't.". I didn't know what I needed to do. Also I had a plan of an education connected with photos. In the second year of my education I started to understand much better, but I didn't manage to apply my knowledges at all. It made me sad. Time was going. I started to find information about programming (before I didn't have internet. It's Russia) and found some interesting course of programming. It was my start point. I watched the whole course. Than I found a few useful books about a program language and read them. After that I could make a simple program and I felt a little piece of powerful :D At that time I had good thoughts in my head, like "Man, you can. You can do it. Yeaaah!!!". I was so happy. Than I went to a university and started to work. My life as a programer started. I hope It will be interesting for you. Thank you for reading. See you soon. :)
